you”re amazing. I have taught you well. j/k I am drawn to the Button Man and #3 & #5. Can you increase the saturation on #5 ? The color level is not as strong at the Button guy and the Indian girls. That’ll realy make it pop. Beautiful pics my friend!

I really like #s 6 and 10, but for different reasons this time…..The reflection in #6 is beautiful, I love that its candid and surreal at the same time….and #10 is very Robert Doisneau- esque to me…..do you know his work?

Houmes, stop your bellyaching about me not responding, here I am. I like numbers 6 and 2. I am guessing that number 2 was more intentional in nature and number 6 was by accident, so I am more inclined to vote for number 2. Who does number 2 work for any way???
